How do I choose between a Unifrost undercounter Bottle Cooler and a larger upright fridge for my wine-by-the-glass programme?

Choose based on service style and peak demand, not just bottle count:

Pick an undercounter/backbar Bottle Cooler when you need wine at hand for speed of service, you have a tight footprint, and you’re mainly chilling bottles for the next shift or two. This is the closest functional match to a compact small wine fridge but in a more bar-friendly format.

Pick a larger upright fridge when you need higher capacity, fewer restocks during peak, and you can place it just behind the bar or in a nearby prep area without slowing service.

A common setup is: Bottle Cooler front-of-house for “open now” stock, plus an upright in a back area for “refill quickly” stock. That combination usually reduces staff steps and stops the FOH unit being overpacked (which can hurt airflow and recovery).
